CARROLLTON — A Carrollton man will make his first court appearance today in Morgan County on charges accusing him of having sexual contact with a girl under age 13.

Justin T. Gipperich, 34, of Carrollton was booked into the Greene County Jail at 8:02 p.m. Jan. 16 on a charge of aggravated criminal sexual assault involving a victim under 13 years old.

He has also been charged with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, indecent solicitation of a minor, criminal sexual assault of a family member, child pornography, domestic battery and providing harmful material to a minor.

Gipperich was arrested after an investigation into acts reported to have taken place during the past year, Carrollton Police Chief Terry Gross said.

“The investigation is continuing. We have some other leads working right now that could lead to some other forensic evidence,” he said.

Gipperich is being held in Greene County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail. He is scheduled for first appearance in Morgan County because there is not a judge available in Greene County to hear the case.
